Bind 8.4.7-P1 on Solaris 8

[gagadget at free.fr]

It is quite hard to migrate a whole BIND 8 DNS architecture to BIND 9,
everything has to be re-checked.

Moreover I don't see the point to publish a P1 patch if it does not compile on
OS supported by BIND 8.

Do we to have to buy a Infoblox service to have that patch compiled ?

Regards.
